In the process of teaching future teachers of fine arts, academic drawing is a key element that provides not only a technical base, but also contributes to the development of visual intuition, concentration and the ability to transfer knowledge. The article is devoted to the analysis of how methodological guidance on painting affects the development of key professional skills of students of art universities in Kazakhstan. The research aims to analyze how painting classes contribute to the development of students' thinking skills and their ability to clearly express their visual concepts in the educational process.
In Kazakhstan, 90 students, divided into comparison and exposure groups, participated in a quasi-experimental study involving three pedagogical universities. The participants in the experiment were engaged in an in-depth academic drawing program, which included analyzing their own notes, discussing work among colleagues, and tasks aimed at developing skills. In the assessment process, methods such as assessment scales for analyzing visual skills, analyzing teachers' professional baggage, expert portfolio reviews, and conversations based on a pre-prepared scenario were used. Statistical conclusions were obtained through the application of the t-criterion and calculations of the quantitative influence of factors; meanwhile, qualitative information was systematized on key topics.
The analysis showed a significant increase in visual perception skills, the teacher's self-confidence and the quality of visual work among the participants of the experimental group. The portfolio showed a well-developed composition and a clear understanding of the educational direction. The interviews demonstrated an in-depth understanding of the role of drawing and emphasized its importance in the educational process.
The data indicate the effectiveness of academic drawing in teacher training through the use of comprehensive and analytical teaching methods. This contributes not only to the development of professional competence, but also to the ability to analyze one's own learning process and its transparency. The study highlights the importance of drawing as a link between theoretical education and practical exercises, which is consistent with Kazakhstan's goal of developing a competency-based approach to teacher training. In further scientific work, it is recommended to investigate the long-term effects of the use of digital drawing tools in teacher training courses.
